I’m new to espresso and currently just use a basic drip setup. I want to switch to making Americanos as my daily drink and occasional latte.

What’s a good beginner-friendly setup that’s easy to learn, reliable, and doesn’t require too much tinkering? Ideally something that balances quality and simplicity.

Libernovo seems to have skipped a big chunk of R&D and is basically selling products while gauging customer response. They released 3 or 4 different models within a year, made fabric changes within the same model, designed a chair for average height but marketed it to taller users, and their customer service is practically nonexistent.

Let me guess, the next model will be an LX with a fan and “premium” fabric, minus who knows what. What are we supposed to do, buy a new chair every year? I used to make fun of people for buying the Embody chair, but now I get it. Twice the price but at least you are buying from a company that knows its shit.

I bought this standing desk off Facebook Marketplace. It’s a really solid build, but the front edge has some noticeable chipping where the finish has rubbed off (see photos).

​What’s the best way to repair or disguise this?

​Also, would you recommend applying any sort of clear coat or sealant to the top to protect it from further wear? I’m a complete beginner when it comes to furniture repair, so any specific product recommendations or simple step-by-step advice would be incredibly helpful. Thanks in advance

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some input on my return decision. I love the LiberNovo Omni. The back support and comfort are fantastic but it’s just too short for me. I’m not a tall guy, 5’9”, but I often sit cross-legged, so I kept slipping. Still, it's not that bad. Once I heard about the upcoming XL version, I decided to return this one. I’m still in the 30-day window. But I’m worried: If I return it now, will the XL be delayed beyond the current estimate (like, maybe into June or later)? And I’m also a bit skeptical, feels like the company is still in a beta stage, like we’re all part of their R&D. Anyone else in a similar boat or have any advice?

The chair itself is great, but it’s just too short for me. Now I want to return it and wait for the XL version in June.

I’m still within the 30-day return window, so I assume shipping will be split 50/50. For those who’ve returned theirs, how much did you pay for shipping, how long did the refund take, and how was the overall return process? I'm shipping from the east cost.
